1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,600
wi-fi is great isn't it it can deliver real world speeds of a gigabit or more

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,960
and lets you stream 4k and game to your heart's content

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,639
that is assuming your router's up to scratch you don't have a bunch of junk

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,000
in the way and your mom isn't causing network congestion binging say yes to

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,199
the dress again but what if we could go faster

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:28,800
i mean even though wi-fi speeds have increased dramatically over the past 20

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:31,039
years slow downs are still common for

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,239
all the reasons that we just outlined and this is where why gig could give us

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:41,760
a huge assist now let's get this out of the way first contrary to popular belief

10
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:43,920
why gig is not an informational campaign

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:50,640
about the benefits of hunting frogs but rather a new Wi-Fi standard that promises

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,559
speeds of over 40 gigabits per second

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,440
on one stream now this is theoretical maximums of

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,440
course and the first widespread y gig devices will probably have real world

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:06,400
speeds of seven to eight gigabits per second but like that is still a huge

16
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:12,159
improvement over current standards so how exactly then are they boosting

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,000
wi-fi performance several times over

18
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:18,880
well i'm glad you asked unlike traditional wi-fi which uses the 2.4

19
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:24,720
gigahertz and 5 gigahertz bands to transmit data y-gig uses the 60

20
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:29,680
gigahertz band meaning that its signals are much higher in frequency allowing

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,920
them to transmit more data per second remember how the jump from 2.4 to 5

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,640
gigahertz some years ago also sped things up quite a bit

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,799
unfortunately this also means that y gig

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,920
only works over ranges that are much shorter than traditional wi-fi you see

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,000
higher frequency radio waves are more easily attenuated by obstacles that is

26
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:53,520
to say they're blocked and you've probably seen this for yourself if

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,719
you've ever walked far away from your router and then switched between 2.4 and

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:04,240
5 gigahertz on your phone although 2.4 gigahertz is slower it also

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,840
works at a greater range so back to y gig then it operates at a

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,640
much higher frequency than even 5 gigahertz wi-fi which means that this

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,040
effect becomes very pronounced to the point where y-gig honestly is mostly

32
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,879
intended to connect gadgets within the same room

33
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,800
so that sounds kind of lame doesn't it why are we even bothering

34
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,680
because even though no one thinks that ygig is going to replace standard wi-fi

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,560
for most people it could eliminate the need for wires in situations where being

36
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,200
tethered down would be super annoying think about being able to cast a 4k

37
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:46,400
stream between devices without having to rely on a congested primary wi-fi

38
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:49,840
network or being able to use a vr headset without wondering if you're

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:55,840
gonna rip the cables out if you wander too far off in fact the wireless adapter

40
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,120
for the htc vive is already using ygig

41
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,080
technology but why git could also find usage

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,480
outside of this kind of super device specific communication many internet

43
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:11,599
service providers for example are now offering home internet packages of one

44
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:16,800
gigabit per second or even more and there is the possibility then that y gig

45
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,519
could make users more likely to actually hit those advertised speeds since nearly

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:26,560
every consumer pc sold in the last 20 years is limited to one gigabit wired

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,799
networking though it should be noted that this is finally changing with two

48
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,879
and a half five and ten gig taking off on the subject of taking off is why gig

49
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:38,959
gonna take off well it's actually been around for a

50
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:44,080
while under a slightly older standard that required clunkier equipment so it

51
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:49,760
hasn't gotten terribly popular yet but we've just started seeing the first

52
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:51,680
chips that support 802.11 a y the new

53
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,000
standard for y gig that offers more flexibility and better range over the

54
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,400
past few months so you might be able to find routers that support this new

55
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,840
version of y gig sometime this year if you're willing to pay the premium times

56
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,799
however many rooms you have in your house that you want to have why gig in

57
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,000
because yeah the range sucks

58
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,320
speaking of sucks if you've ever been in this situation it sucks where you just

59
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,079
need a quick video clip for b-roll or an after effects template or a motion

60
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,600
background except it doesn't suck because you guys watch Techquickie so

61
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,840
you already know about story blocks we use story blocks all the time and it's

62
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:32,080
really simplified our workflow clips are easy to find and you can download as

63
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,919
many as you want at a low cost to test in your project whether it's a youtube

64
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,840
video or like a video background for your website or whatever the case may be

65
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,600
so instead of letting your creative needs take a back seat due to budget

66
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,840
constraints or scrambling because a client made a last-minute change use

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,120
storyblocks this affordable high quality footage instead of worrying about

68
